We sat outside on the rocking chairs, sipping tea and coffee and listening to the sound of peace and quiet. The distant clop of horses hooves on Mill Road, a solitary drill in the hands of a neighbour and the cawing of crows. Then, suddenly, the sun went behind the clouds and the raindrops fell until, an hour later, out came the evening sunshine and a rainbow appeared in the sky.

Dear Gill,
Ellen and I wish you,Jeremy, and your entire wonderful family a happy,healthy New Year. Let us all pray for a return to a peaceful, rational world where compassion reigns and human dignity is venerated.
Bill
